Topic	18 year old killed Mom's abusive Boyfriend. Did he do the right thing?

"Defense of another" is a legal defense. You don't get charged with it; you get charged with murder or manslaughter, then use that as a defense to it. I know it seems like I'm playing semantics, but legal terms have very specific meanings. Well, I'm no lawyer and have no knowledge of law. But what I meant was I could see it very easily not being charged/whatever as murder and don't really believe it was given he was defending his mother from a repeat abuser. Admittedly, I am going off British law and defence laws are far stricter than America's. --- http://i.imgur.com/BGbZK.gif <cite>Funkydog posted [p:884935570] in 18 year ol...
